Hello, my name is Joshua Wingfield and I ' m a relatively new model to the modelling industry. I got into modelling down to the plain simple fact that I noticed a huge change in my facial characteristics and also my body and i prefered it to what I previously had. It gave me some what of a confidence boost and I decided to go for a test shoot with a fellow friend who is a professional photographer and I thoroughly enjoyed it so I thought " what the heck, why not give modelling an actual go ".
I applied for a couple of small time agencies and got into one of them but soon enough I had realised that it was actually a scam so I decided to go freelance. I signed up to Model Mayhem the website and contacted photographers directly and other types of people within the industry and successfully collaborated in several shoots.
Recently I have been signed by 2 agencies which are Source Models and Elisabeth Smith Models. I ' m currently more or less a commercial model but I so wish to become an editorial model. I aim that in the next year or two I will be signed with bigger agencies and maybe model in some shows and catwalks, but the ultimate aim for me within modelling is for when I am in my mid 20s I can tie in my career of a Personal Trainer with modelling and become a Fitness Model.
